Not happy.

I was at work last night, ( i work security ) when a drunk woman decided to try and sit on my bike. Before i could take half a step towards her she had tipped it over. She landed heavily against the parked car and dented it badly with her shoulder ( i hope it hurts today when she's sober ). Police came as she had run off, but her friends convinced her to return. Luckily there is only minor damage to my bike. The rear crash bar is gouged and scratched and so is my Ergo 2 Highway peg. but they did their job protecting the bike. She WILL be paying for repairs although i think she will try and avoid it. Police have said they will follow up if she doesn't. This woman was 60 years old , well dressed and obviously not struggling for a dollar. It just goes to show that age and wealth doesn't mean intelligence.

Sorry to hear stupid self entitled people!
A motorcycle cover not only protects from rain but probably would have kept this from happening
Good luck with financial endeavors

Too bad it wasn't her head instead of her shoulder.

Stupid people doing stupid things! Sorry to hear and see this, and I hope you get it all sorted soon. :banghead:

That is absolutely sickening to see it layed over on the side like that...for a reason other than service that is.

I hate that some people think they can just touch other peoples motorcycles because they like them.

Hopefully you have no issues getting this idiot to take care of the damages.

Probably wouldn't have affected her birdbrain if she did... better for her shoulder. Like the OP remarked... hopefully it is a pain reminder for her; in the coming days.

Remarking previously about the suggested bike cover... good idea... maybe a realistic looking rattlesnake on the seat will keep people away as well....

And if you tried to sit in her car...

I took the cover advice to heart a month ago and spent a paltry 20$CDN (less than 16$US) for a cover. No longer find the following when I get back to my bike:

• birdsh1t
• Dust
• kill switch moved
• and so on...

thanks to those who recommended this, it really seems it takes a lot more courage to pull off the cover and be stupid than just be stupid:beer3:

That Pisces me off.Just another person who feels motorcycles mean nothing .They claim they don't see us on roadways an unrespectfully sit touch etc. I hope you get financially covered promptly .good luck

I missed the point where the police will " follow up " if she does not pay??? I don't know how these things work in your country, but here there is an accident report and the insurance companies " follow up " on these events. Hope it works out for you !!!

This isn't considered an "accident" in policing circles. Two parked vehicles. It is however the criminal offence of mischief to property (CDN Terminology), however the legal principles are the same as if the same stupid person sat on a piece of art (motorcycle) and it tipped over into a parked vehicle or a window etc. Stupid is criminal liable for the damage. The police will follow up if she doesn't make the victim's happy (bike and car owner), they can charge her criminally and make the repair costs part of the criminal restitution.

Exactly. Her vehicle insurance won't cover her as it had nothing to do with her car. this comes out of her pocket.

Just an update.... The woman rang me today and was very apologetic and embarrassed (rightly so too. ) She has said she will obviously cover cost of all repairs.

That is good to hear !. It always P$$es me off to have anyone touch my bike without express permission.Knocking it over would take a lot to maintain control. Happy that she sobered up and is going to cover the damage though..

Most edifying to know that members of this forum have never been drunk and behaved foolishly.

How presumptuous of you :shhh:

The difference is being drunk and behaving foolishly... and not getting caught.

You're right willtill - God knows I've had my share of phuck ups, drunk, sober or in-between, and gotten by with more than my fair share...
